What is the best API to find the NFS server address of the cluster?

In order to let a client mount a NFS volume on the cluster, we need to find out the IP address of the NFS server.

Currently we call the "net-interface-get-iter" API to list all interfaces on the cluster, and then find the interface with a "nfs" substring in its name. Then we can use this interface's IP address to mount the NFS volume. For example, the NFS interface in our cluster has this name: "TME_BENCH_nfs_lif1"

However, this looks very hacky to me... So I was just wondering, what would be the best API call to directly find out the IP address of the NFS server for a client to mount to?

I think network interface object has a "data-protocols" array that you can iterate to find nfs.
